Katt, thank you again.
Now I see, that I won't be able to upgrade my tea party to level 10, but I have good chances to get a peacock!
I'll have to use my "two hours timer" magic, so I'll try to collect 8-9 times a day from tea party.
16 days left and I'm on level 7 with 360 teacups:
2 days on level 7: 16 teacups * 2 days * 8 times/day = 256 teacups
4 days on level 8: 20 teacups * 4 days * 8 times/day = 640 teacups
10 days on level 9: 25 teacups * 10 days * 8 times/day = 2000 teacups
360 + 256 + 640 + 2000 = 3256 teacups. That's bigger than 2400 needed, so I have some reserves for cute racoons.
I start liking this event again. However, I play CS on smartphone, and even at workplace I can do a little break every two hours to collect from tea party, ponds, mushrooms and red flowers. And it could be a problem for other players
I've made calculations in the same spreadsheet (

If player collects from a tea party no less than 6.5 a day on the average, it's still possible to get a peacock. But he'll have to advance with levels quickly. Something like: level 6 at day 3, level 7 at day 5, level 8 at day 9, level 9 at day 14.
PS. I'm sorry for my English. I understand, that it's the native language for the most of the forum, and I make mistakes and misuse words and punctuation. I just want to contribute something to such friendly and supportive community.
